Fulham vs Aston Villa match thread

[PaulWinch again]

We look good going forward from the bits I’ve seen but we have to get a second.

[Villan82]

Pre match:

"OMG EMERY IS CLUESSLESS FOR PLAYING TIELEMANS AT DM LOLZZZ."

Match starts and Tielemans is playing as our most advanced central midfielder by a long way.

So useful sometimes to actually see what formation we're playing before criticising the manager.

Overall we've looked pretty decent and should be winning by far more than 1-0. That Moreno one looked on to me so let's hope it's not a case of VAR f***ing us over and Fulham scrambling a goal from a set piece as this would be a big two points dropped in the season.

Agree with every word. Also, we have an injury crisis so there is going to be square pegs in round holes at some point.

Any working link to the goal please?

Still working as of now. Be quick

Manure and Tottingam get that offside goal

On the Moreno ‘offside’.
It’s the easiest not offside to give. Surely you can see from the line of the 6 yard box that the fulham players foot is closer to the goal than Moreno……it’s plainly fucking obvious

[SoccerHQ]

We've had some nice breakways. Just feels to me that compared to the top sides in the league we just waste so many with careless decision making when it's a four on three in our favour.

Five minutes before half time and Luiz is central with space to run into and it's on his right foot. Why on earth is he not putting his foot through the ball? Instead he just casually passes it to the left straight to the Fulham player and then they break and McGinn gets booked from it.

[CT Villan]

Decent first-half, Pau's distribution has been mostly excellent which helps us beat the press. We should be out of sight already, hope the missed chances don't bite us in the derrière.

The Moreno offside is highly questionable - the lines they drew should have been almost parallel to the 6-yard box and they are obviously way off. The new ref has done a decent job thus far despite VAR's shortcomings.

Yep, for the second time today I'm fully in agreement!  More often than not, we waste too many attacking situations.

[Demitri_C]

Unai needs to start putting some pressure on these var officials its ridiculous how many they give against us

That was so annoying, with his ability to shoot it was the obvious option.

[Goldenballs]

I feel like this ref's got a right clanger of a decision in him, next goal is massive.

[Rigadon]

The diving from Fulham has been shocking too.

[SoccerHQ]

Spurs score about 10 seconds after half time....again.

What is it with opposition teams still being in the dressing room against them once the second starts?!

We need to be well up for that game in a few weeks.

[Skerra]

Lines once again drawn in the wrong place. That was definitely onside.
